Patient Reviews

May 30, 2021

Dr. Helfet is the most skilled, caring and ethical practitioner I have ever met. I will always remember and be grateful to him and his wonderful team for treating my badly broken arm a few years ago. The surgery went perfectly . I had no idea that such a celebrated NYC surgeon could also be the the kindest most modest and caring man in NYC. Thank You Dr, Helfet!
